Saudi king says civil war in Iraq not on cards

[ECH1969]

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah said he did not believe there would be a civil war in Iraq, according to an interview with a Kuwaiti newspaper published on Saturday.

"It's not a possibility, contrary to what some analysts are saying," he said in the interview published on al-Seyassah's Web site.

Interior ministers from countries bordering Iraq will meet in the Saudi city of Jeddah on Monday to improve security coordination in an effort to prevent sectarian violence mainly between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims in Iraq spreading.

Saudi officials say the representatives from countries attending, which include Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Bahrain, will sign an "anti-terror" security protocol including measures to combat border infiltration.
